I feel very fortunate that the 2 dresses Gwynnie Bee sent me right after surgery were comfortable Effie's Heart dresses. The color on this was so pretty & I adore pomegranates. The fit & length were good...unfortunately, the day of these photos I decided to stuff my faja with lipo foam for more compression...so I'm padded all the way around my middle which pulls the dress up & out. I probably should have retaken them...but this is what I looked like in real life on this day. 

Stuffed & swollen...recovery is hard. 

But! Cute Fluevogs! And this is my first time wearing this antique necklace we found at Elkhorn last summer. 

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Perversion, Violet Voss Berry Burst eyeshadow palette, Huda Beauty Ruby Obsessions eyeshadow palette, Burgundy lipliner from MAC, Red Chocolate lipliner by Laura Mercier, MAC lipstick in New York Apple, Nars lipstick in Cruella, & ILNP nail polish in Misery. 

Another gorgeous farmers' market Saturday. We couldn't resist getting more of these gigantic mums (2 for us, 2 for our cleaning woman).

So colorful surrounded by crispy fallen leaves. 

Our final APT play of the season...indoors, of course...on a beautiful sunny fall day...Stones in His Pocket. We packed a picnic since it was such a lovely day...but when we got there...we discovered they had already locked up their tables for the year. Other people were standing & using the tops of trash bins...quite a few of us planned on picnicking. We decided to drive up to the theatre to take outfit photos & noticed there was a picnic table in the parking lot...not the best location, but we set up there anyway. A fabulous last picnic of the season & a wonderful play to end on. I drove the cart around Costco...my first time, so I was a danger to everyone...it's harder than it looks. I happened to catch Amanda Palmer live on Instagram...so many amazing pumpkins. I follow a bunch of low carb accounts that I basically ignore, because they usually make food I have no interest in...however...we bought some Walleye fillets at Costco & I was in the mood for fish fry...when I remembered that people use pork rinds as "breading". Pork rinds. It doesn't sound that good, does it?! I threw pork rinds in the food processor, then added some salt & other seasonings...I dipped the fish in egg & covered it with the breading...fried in olive oil. It was delicious & crispy...we liked it so much, I made it again a few days later. More meals at home...I make salmon a lot. David made us some venison burgers...served with chili crisp & sauerkraut...I didn't even touch the ketchup. After dropping off a chair at the dump, David suggested we check out what was available at Decon. They were just opening & we were excited to look around. The first thing I spied that I immediately fell in love with...this old washing machine. I have wanted one since I was a kid...& this one had been used right up until the woman went into the nursing home. We also picked up 2 more of these bar carts...they are extremely useful for crafting & so many things. And David noticed this metal frame...don't know what it is...but we've been looking for a TV tray alternative for me in the wreck room...so David is going to make me one. Later that day, David did a few loads of laundry in our new washing machine! I didn't take any photos, just a long video of him doing it & talking about his memories of his great grandma using one.  It was really fun. Especially since I'm going to turn it into a flower planter or a cooler for drinks outside. Then, onto Midwest Vintage Flea! I'd never been before since there wouldn't have been anything that fit me. Shortly after getting there, David picked out this fabulous 70s dress for me, but sadly, it only had a 22" waist. But this tapestry coat was lovely...I guess I'm a collector of vintage coats now. I also got 3 purses, including this delightfully autumn fuzzy one. Wowza! This dress immediately caught my attention...purple velvet octopus prom dress! I posted this photo on Facebook & one of my friends went with her kiddo the next day & got it. They are tiny & do drag...I can't wait to see how they style it.The shoes I wore the Midwest Flea day. Apparently, David makes venison (steaks with duxelles & roasted sweet potatoes), I make salmon.
